Whats the Story With Certificates, Training & Continuing Education?
What’s the difference between certification, training, and continuing education? It’s hard to say. Sometimes the terms overlap. And sometimes they’re completely different pursuits. In the paragraphs below, we try to distinguish these labels based on how they’re often used. We also provide some examples that link to related programs. The terms are grouped together in this section because they are all types of learning that don’t necessarily involve a degree. They are usually shorter periods of study. That’s not to say they are easier, or less valuable programs. Often, they are the best route for online students.
